Lower and Lower

Ever said a comment that didn’t go over too well? Ever tried to recover from that comment only to have the hole you are digging get deeper and deeper?

I’m fairly good at putting my foot in it; it’s a skill…

So I’m at a wedding on the weekend and sitting across from me is this girl who is looking at me… after a while she speaks (transcript below):

Girl: Did you go to XYZ High School?
Anthony: Yes
Girl: Did you hang around XYZ people?
Anthony: Yes
Girl: You don’t remember me do you?
Anthony: Can’t say I do…
Girl: I’m Jenna; I used to go out with a friend of yours…
Anthony: Jenna? Jenna Jenna? Holy Crap I cannot believe it; you sure turned out well, I mean in comparison to how you looked at school you’re gorgeous.
Everyone else at the table: *Looking at me as to say Oh My God*
Anthony: I mean really, it’s a compliment, I remember you having pimples and braces, you’ve turned out nice.
Girl: Ummm Thanks.

Yep, that went over so well… What the hell was I thinking?!
